Safestyle UK won the prestigious G 06 awards for the best customer care.

Safestyle UK, the country's leading independent replacement window and door retailer, has scooped a major prize at this year's prestigious G 06 Awards recently held to highlight and reward excellence in the glass, glazing and fenestration industries.

The company, which is part of the Style Group UK, was nominated and short-listed for three awards at this year's annual G06 Awards. They were for the Best Customer Care, the Installer of the Year and Promotional Campaign of the Year - Safestyle being the 2005 winner of the latter. More than 500 industry members at the Birmingham Metropole Hotel applauded as Safestyle UK overcame stiff national competition to come out on top in the much coveted Customer Care category.

The Style Group's chief executive, John Ross, commented: "Our Group has won several awards in recent years but this latest honour for customer care is one any company would regard as extremely important. Recently we received BSI accreditation for Customer Service but that will not stop us from continuing to invest heavily on training and new technology to ensure we continue to develop our customer care and service records even further."

"To be nationally recognised as bucking the trend in an industry that traditionally has a poor public image shows we are on the right track. We now implement a most demanding and high quality training programme for all staff and this award is the result. However, we will not rest on our laurels and will ensure our record continues as second to none."

The high profile, national G Awards are open on an annual basis to all organisations in the glass, glazing and fenestration industries and aim to reward excellence in twelve different categories.
